Film critic Peter Travers reviews 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3,' in theaters now.
This image released by Focus Features shows Nia Vardalos, left, and John Corbett in a scene from"My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3."Haven't we seen all this before? Of course we have, in the first two movie love letters that Nia Vardalos created in honor of her family. Now in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3," only in theaters, Vardalos is still laughing, crying and fussing about her boisterous Greek relatives.
The first movie in 2002 was a big fat Greek hit, taking in $368 million against a $5 million budget to become the highest-grossing romcom of all time. Not bad for a movie that Vardalos based on her little-seen one-woman show about defying her parents and marrying a non-Greek Adonis. After a makeover, Toula falls for and marries waspy school teacher Ian Miller . Cue the happy ending and an Oscar nomination for Vardalos for best original screenplay. Opa!.It took 14 years to cobble together a 2016 sequel that couldn't match the charm that snuck up on us back then. What once bubbled up from a sincere love of Greek family ties had congealed into the all-too-familiar Hollywood tale of milking a cash cow until it cries for mercy.
